Chapter 946: Internal Killing and External Killing
Chapter 946
Everyone in the Chengqian Palace looked solemn, mainly because Song Xu's words, "The most important principle of resisting demons" reminded them that this was an important moment.
In normal times, no matter how much they supported Ning Qingyu, they would at most keep today's meeting a secret, but would not support Ning Qingyu becoming the king. But now, they couldn't help but think about it.
"Everyone, ten years ago, the previous King of Chu failed to overcome the tribulation and fell. He was succeeded by a young prince. Even now, this prince is still under age, only in his twenties."
Song Xu said in a deep voice, "But everyone has seen the outcome of the Chu Kingdom. The entire country has fallen and is dominated by demons. This is a lesson learned from the past. We must not follow in the same footsteps."
"What Mr. Song said is absolutely true."
Taishi couldn't help but sigh, "It's just that this matter is too... too unbelievable. Of course, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the empress. We all know the empress's talents, and she is even more outstanding than King Yan. It's just that from ancient times to the present, there has been no such thing." It’s a precedent.”
"Everyone, no one in this world wants to leave a name in history, but most people don't have this opportunity."
Song Xu's eyes flashed and he said slowly, "Since the imperial concubine summoned you and me for discussion, it means that we are both trustworthy people, so Song will not beat around the bush. Have you ever thought that once we succeed, then The empress is the first female queen in eternity, and we here are the ones who created history. Not to mention leaving a name in history, it is no problem to leave a lasting reputation."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present were a little touched, and their eyes changed rapidly.
Just as Song Xu said, except for Lin Mu, the few people present were all officials and generals. Anyone who didn't want to leave their name in history would undoubtedly succeed if they succeeded and assisted the first female king in eternity. He is a great man who created history and will be remembered and enshrined by future generations forever.
"Mr. Song has already told the truth, so I, Mr. Zhang, can't hide it."
Zhang Bo took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, Zhang is very excited to have this opportunity to leave his name forever."
Seeing that Zhang Bo, a high-ranking official in the current dynasty, had expressed his position, others no longer had anything to hide.
"I, Old Wu, am a rough man. I don't know any big principles. I only know that I, a hero, have been holding back my anger for half my life in the hands of the so-called macho kings like King Yan, but in the hands of the empress, I was promoted and reused. I I think the empress is no worse than Wu Zetian."
Wu Yue said fiercely.
"Brother Wu and I have the same idea."
Xu Guang clenched his fist and said.
"Although I am from the Li family, I can't tell lies with my eyes open. If this country is left in the hands of those incompetent people from the Li family, it will be defeated soon. If the empress is really determined to hold up this country, , then I, Li Yao, will do my best to help."
Zongzheng Li Yao said sincerely.
"If I can be the person who creates history, I will never hesitate to die."
Qian Tao, the young master, said briefly.
"There's not much I can do, but no matter what I do, I will definitely keep the order in Yanjing in order, and no one can make any trouble."
Zhang Zhengju, the governor of Yanjing Prefecture, said.
"Very good, now Song wants to know, what does the empress think?"
Song Xu looked at Ning Qingyu.
"The sun and moon are high in the sky, I am very fascinated by them."
Ning Qingyu had never been a coy or posturing little woman, so she immediately expressed her feelings.
Seeing how manly she was, everyone present felt reassured and had a little more confidence.
This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am afraid that no one has ever encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like them.
There are demons threatening them outside, the royal family is incompetent inside, and they also meet Ning Qingyu, who is wise and decisive and majestic. If they miss this opportunity, I am afraid that even if they die, they will not be reconciled and will hate it for the rest of their lives.
"I already know everyone's thoughts. Now our opinions are unified, that is, we agree to establish the empress as the king and make a pioneering move that has never been done before."
Song Xu solemnly said, "The general policy has been set, and now we have to discuss specific matters. The first is the method, which method the empress is willing to use to become the king."
"A woman becoming a king, something that has never happened before, will definitely be opposed by countless people and usher in countless bloody storms. We must be mentally prepared for this, choose a path, and go on unswervingly. "
"Mr. Song, is there any way?"
Taishi Zhang Bo couldn't help but ask.
"There are two ways, both are killing, but one way is to kill internally, and the other way is to kill externally. Killing internally is like Wu Zetian, who wiped out all opposition forces, forcibly quelled all civil unrest, and wiped out all opposition voices. .”
Song Xu's voice was very calm, but the words he spoke were bloody and murderous.
Hearing this, everyone present could not help but shudder. It is conceivable that just as Song Xu said, no one knows how many people will die.
They are sure that at least half of the people in the country are opposed to it. If the killing is carried out internally, the common people will be easy to guide, but at least half of the important officials will be killed.
"What about killing outsiders?"
Xu Guang asked impatiently.
"Killing external forces transfers internal conflicts to external conflicts."
Song Xu said, "Through constant foreign wars, we will divert the attention of domestic officials and people, and in the great victories one after another, we will not increase the prestige of the empress. When the prestige of the empress reaches a certain height, all domestic opposition voices will disappear." It will disappear naturally, and there will be no need to do so many killings.”
"Needless to say, of course the second option is better."
As a military general, Wu Yue had a very fiery personality, and he shouted urgently on the spot, "I can't do this kind of thing to attack civilians at home, but if you ask me to fight abroad, I will definitely lead the way and never retreat."
"It's not that simple."
Zhang Bo obviously thought more deeply, "It seems that the first plan is more bloody and less humane, but in fact it is much easier than the second plan. As long as the internal suppression is fast, there will be no danger. There are also opportunities to make up for losses. But when it comes to external killings, once there is any failure in war, it will immediately trigger a chain reaction, causing the empress's reputation to collapse, and then the whole country will be condemned. "
Wu Yue suddenly stopped talking and could only walk around irritably.
"In this matter, I still have to think about what decision to make."
Song Xu looked at Ning Qingyu.
"Don't think about it."
Ning Qingyu said categorically, "There is no need to consider the first option at all. There is only the second option."
Everyone was stunned, Wu Yue and Xu Guang looked surprised.
"However, the second plan is really difficult, and there is no room for failure, not even one failure."
Song Xu said seriously.
